You guys HAVE to check out Tara Mor's new drink lineup!!If you're looking for a sophisticated date night or a classy friend catchup this is the place to be. They captured a timeless vibe while they combine American cuisine with their Irish roots. Also known as Alligator Pear, @taramor has made some impressive updates to their drink lineup that you guys have to try. Starting off strong with the "Floozie in the Jacuzzi" I loved the fruitiness of the blackberry foam. And y'all know I'm a tequila girl so the "Sam Said So" was a must try that gave spicy margarita vibes. Although we were mostly there for drinks, I couldn't resist trying some of their food menus and it did NOT disappoint. The Caesar salad was delicious, the Calamari perfectly crispy and light and my strip steak was to die for. I was so stuffed that I took some home but I was so disappointed that I forgot to ask for the sauce to go because it literally made the dish.I would definitely recommend trying them out if you're ever in the Madison Square Garden area for a pre game/show meal or stop in afterwards to celebrate (or commiserate) on a win lolThank you @taramor for having me and as always this post for later and join me for more foodie adventures.What We Had * Mr. Exechequer* Sam Said So* Floozie in the Jacuzzi* Naughty Years* Page Three Demur* What Doesn't Kill You* Pickle Martini* Feta & Pineapple Martini* Fried Calamari* Caesar Salad* Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon* NY Strip Steak

My company hosted a happy hour at this location, which has a bit of a speakeasy vibe. Our event was held downstairs in a spacious area, perfect for a gathering of our size. The setup included a bar, high-top tables, and some lounge seating, making it a great spot for networking and a work happy hour.The bartenders were excellent--friendly, skilled, and even adding their own creative twist to drinks if you shared your preferred spirit. The overall atmosphere was really nice. Since I was only there for the happy hour, I didn't get to explore the full menu, but the food I did try was pretty decent.

The bar/restaurant has a good vibe.We love it that they have a cute divider between dining and the bar area so it is not over crowded and noisy.We went on slow Sunday night and the host accommodate us sitting on the dining lounge that is very comfortable.The foods are average. It is better than regular bar food but it is nothing special and not flavorful. The virgin drink is a bomb, a phony Negroni!!!We will definitely go back for drinks not food

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for some time but unfortunately it seems like they recently rebranded to Tara Mor so the menu is different and is no longer NOLA inspired. Pros:- It is only two blocks away from MSG/Penn Station so a good location if you are going to a game or need access to many trains.- They seem to have ample seating.- Decent happy hour on drinks and apps until 7pm.- The hostess sat me early which was nice and the waiter was pretty attentive. Cons:- The food was nothing special and we had a good variety. Started with the burrata and tuna tartare. Something was missing from both, the burrata could probably use more balsamic and the tuna with the rice crackers had no flavor so maybe some soy and sprinkled seaweed. - For the mains, I had a steak salad and the bowl they serve it in is too small to actually enjoy eating it. The steak was also tough and fatty. However, the salad dressing was yummy. The house fries unfortunately didn't taste fresh. My friend had the lamb and said one of the chops tasted good but the other were borderline burnt/overcooked. Overall, I probably wouldn't go again unless it was just for drinks or they made adjustments.

Highly highly recommend this spot especially for an event. Steph and Ali made planning my joint birthday party with my roommate so incredibly easy. I had inquired about a couple different rooms and group sizes but they were so patient and sent over a lot of details and pictures to help me decide. Once I chose a room they sent the contract over and it was pretty much settled! We rented out the speakeasy and had the entire space to ourselves. The night of, Young and Tommy were our bartenders and they were phenomenal. The espresso martini here is so good - I had 3 of these LOL. We had control over the aux which was fun to be able to play our own music. They also let us bring 2 outside cakes. So many of my friends also loved the venue - we got a lot of compliments throughout the night!This was the second event I've attended at Alligator Pear (first one as an attendee). The host of the first event also had a super pleasant experience working with the event planning team so it seems like they know their stuff :)

I enjoyed this spot for lunch, I expected better of the gnocchi, but at least there's a cool lunch deal.They are thinking of changing the name which o think is a mistake. It's in a peculiar location for the great vibe but that's okay. Cool spot, really bummed I didn't get any alligator pear matchbooks though, super sad about that.Great bartender service on the day I went, super friendly guy.

I celebrated my birthday dinner with 17 guests during the holiday season in one of their private spaces, the Oak Room. This is one of the few places in NYC that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for a semi-private or private dining experience. That's a win in my book!From the beginning, communicating with their event coordinator, Steph, was a breeze. We went through all the event details and contract fine print over email, which made everything super easy to organize. Plus, I got to visit the space beforehand to make sure it was the perfect setting for my big night.I had the option of serving my guests a prix fixe menu, but I went with family-style dining and made my menu selections a few days prior. Overall, the food and drinks were tasty, though some of the portions could've been a little bigger considering the price.The Oak Room was beautifully decorated with Christmas cheer, which was a lovely surprise. I also brought in my own decor, including balloons and flowers. I did request tapered candles, but they didn't have them on hand that day. However, the staff improvised with other candles, and honestly, it all worked out.The staff was attentive, friendly, and best of all, not overbearing. They allowed us to enjoy the celebration without interrupting our fun, which was much appreciated. They even surprised us with free champagne to celebrate our engagement. We never felt rushed and some of us even stayed behind way after the party ended to enjoy some additional drinks. All in all, I had a truly memorable birthday dinner, and my guests had a great time too. I highly recommend Alligator Pear (Tara Mór) for your next event!
